After a few more days, Ning Caichen finally returned.

Looking at his appearance, he is really full of energy and complacent, as if he has won the champion.

"Hey, something seems wrong......

Dong Sheng looked weird and looked at Ning Caichen and muttered to himself.

He Yongliang took Ning Caichen's hand affectionately and said, "Caichen, I haven't seen you for so long, but your complexion is much better...... Honestly, do you have any secret recipes? ”

The last few words are almost attached to the ear.

"What's the secret ingredient?"

Ning Caichen looked puzzled and innocent.

"Everybody's a man, you know......"

Ning Caichen was no more slippery than He Yongliang and Dong Sheng, blinking, with an expression that Xiaosheng should know something.

"Yo, isn't this Ning Xiucai? Why are you alone, your sweetheart? ”

Su Ling also walked over and subconsciously looked around while asking.

"This ...... Ahem, it's a little inconvenient to take her with you......"

"Caichen, let's take you upstairs for a visit."

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng couldn't help but say, and pulled Ning Caichen to the backyard.

When he arrived at a room on the second floor, Dong Sheng closed the door with his backhand......

"You ...... What do you want to do? ”

Looking at He Yongliang and the others with malicious smiles on their faces, Ning Caichen was a little panicked.

"Don't be afraid ......"

"We're not bad guys......"

It's okay not to say it, but the two of them said this even more frightened Ning Caichen and hurriedly ran to the door.

As a result, he was dragged by Dong Sheng after just two steps: "What are you running?" We just care about you and want to ask you some questions. ”

"What...... What's the problem? ”

"Tell me honestly, are you with that female ghost...... Is that Lan Xiaofeng together? ”

"That's right!"

At the mention of the ghost in his heart, Ning Caichen suddenly looked happy.

This time, it made Dong Sheng and He Yongliang itch like a cat scratch in their hearts.

"Do you two have that ......?"

Dong Sheng raised his left hand and touched the thumb of his right hand.

"Uh......" Ning Caichen's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Look, what am I talking about? This guy is really bold. He Yongliang looked indignant.

But there was envy and jealousy in my heart.

"Isn't that right?" got the answer he wanted, but Dong Sheng frowned again: "It stands to reason that after you and the female ghost are in good spirits, how can your spirit be better than before?" “

"Yes, yes, it's really hard to figure out." He Yongliang echoed.

"Actually...... Xiaofeng and I are already married. ”

"What? You...... You actually married a female ghost? Dong Sheng was taken aback.

"Xiaofeng is not a female ghost now...... Since she was with me, her complexion has been getting better and better day by day.

At first, I was a little afraid of the sun, but slowly I seem to be getting used to it, as long as it's not the sun at noon, it's almost fine.

Now, except for my mother, the people around me don't know that she is a female ghost......"

"So amazing?"

Dong Sheng seemed a little unconvinced.

"What are you lying about? By the way, in the future, don't mention Xiaofeng's life experience in front of people outside, so as not to cause trouble. ”

"Don't worry, we'll never spread the word."

"It's weird...... Dong Sheng looked thoughtful.

Seeing this, He Yongliang couldn't help but sneer: "Dong Sheng, you won't also think about finding a female ghost again, right?" Haven't had enough of the previous losses? ”

"Come less, you are so anxious to ask Caichen, Bacheng is also a little tempted."

"I'm just curious...... Anyway, this person and a ghost can really get married? ”

Ning Caichen shook his head: "It's hard for Xiaosheng to explain clearly, in short, Xiaosheng likes Xiaofeng, I don't care if she's a human or a ghost, as long as we can be happy together." ”

"Smack!"

As soon as he heard this, He Yongliang seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but snap his fingers.

"I finally understood that this must be the power of loving each other."

Dong Sheng rarely did not refute, showing a thoughtful look.

After that, Gu Ming also learned about Ning Caichen and Lan Xiaofeng's marriage, but he was not surprised, not only verbally expressed his blessings, but also sealed a big red envelope of one hundred taels of silver to congratulate.

……

When it is dark.

Gu Ming, Nie Xiaoqian, and Yu'er sat around the table to eat together.

Ying Ning was not idle, eating the fruit on the plate leisurely on the side alone.

"Uncle, try the fish I made."

Yu'er diligently sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in Gu Ming's bowl.

Gu Ming tasted it and couldn't help laughing: "Well, it's good, it's full of color, flavor, and flavor...... Yu'er, your cooking skills have improved a lot recently, keep up the good work. ”

"Hee-hee, thank you uncle for the compliment!"

Yu'er smiled so much that her eyes were crooked into crescent moons.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked in, wrapped in a wisp of incense.

"Huh? Mrs. Sue? ”

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned, then got up and greeted warmly: "It's just right, sit down and eat together, Yu'er, go get a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"No, no, no......" Su Ling hurriedly waved his hand, looking teary-eyed.

"Mrs. Su, what's going on? Did you quarrel with your father-in-law? ”

Gu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine if we do quarrel, but ...... But now I can't even find his people......"

While speaking, Su Ling couldn't help but sit down and hide his face and sob.

On weekdays, she is a fiery and smug woman, and it is really rare to see such a helpless coquettishness.

This demeanor, coupled with what she said just now, suddenly made Gu Ming and Nie Xiaoqian glance at each other, and faintly felt that things might not be very simple.

"Mrs. Su, don't worry, if you have something to say."

Nie Xiaoqian stepped forward and gently patted Su Ling's back to comfort her.

"Well, thank you, Miss Nie."

Su Ling raised it up, wiped his tears, choked up and explained the reason.

"The morning before yesterday, my father-in-law took two people to Xiaohuaizhuang to collect rent, and under normal circumstances, he should have come back yesterday.

But...... To this day, there is no one to be seen.

I was worried, so I sent someone to Xiaohuaizhuang to look for someone, but my father-in-law never went to Xiaohuaizhuang at all......"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning: "Then, will Young Master Zeng temporarily change his mind and go somewhere else?" ”

"Probably not, even if you change your mind at the moment, it's unlikely that you will go for three days at a time.

The point is that I heard from people that several people have disappeared inexplicably during this time, so ...... So I ...... in my heart Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of this, Su Ling couldn't help but cry again.

"Mrs. Su, you don't have to worry first, maybe things are not as bad as you think."

"Xiaoqian, why don't we accompany Mrs. Su to the county government to find your father and ask about the situation, and see if someone has really disappeared mysteriously recently."

"yes, okay."

"Thank you Gu Gongzi, thank you Miss Nie."

That's exactly what Su Ling meant when he came here, and he wanted to go to the county office to inquire about the situation. The best people who can accompany her are naturally Gu Ming and Nie Xiaoqian.

"Yu'er, you clean up the dinner table, and we will accompany Mrs. Su to the county government first."

"Oh~"

Yu'er responded obediently.

Subsequently, the three of them came to the inner courtyard of the county government to find Nie Hongshu.

When he heard the reason, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but be surprised: "What? Young Master Zeng is also missing? ”

The word "also" suddenly made Su Ling's heart tighten, and he asked anxiously: "Lord Nie, I heard that there are people missing recently, is it true?" ”

"That's right, this official has received several disappearances recently......"

"Oh my God......"

Su Ling's eyes were dark, and he was about to faint.

"Mrs. Su, cheer up!"

Gu Ming cast his mouth in time and drank a sentence.

At this moment, Su Ling came to his senses and said helplessly: "How is this good?" How good is that? ”

Although the couple inevitably bumps and bumps on weekdays, in general, the relationship is still relatively good. Now, the backbone of the family is gone, how can she feel at ease?

"Don't worry...... Gu Ming said to Su Ling, and then asked at Nie Hongshu, "Father-in-law, who are these missing people?" ”

"According to the information that this official has learned, there are merchants, there are ordinary people, and one is a merchant from other places."

"Could it be that he was kidnapped by bandits?"

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but say.

Nie Hongshu let out a long sigh: "This ...... There are no clues yet, and no conclusions can be drawn yet. ”

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "I don't rule out this possibility, there seem to be two bandit dens in the area of Xiaohuaizhuang." ”

"If it's a bandit kidnapping ticket, what are they kidnapping ordinary people for? Even the facilities can't knock out a few dollars, right? ”

"Father-in-law, bandits can't be justified in their actions, what if they kidnap the people because they lack manpower and force them to join the gang?"

"Well, that makes sense." Nie Hongshu couldn't help but nodded.

"Lord Nie, please, please send someone to save my father-in-law."

Su Ling immediately got up and was about to kneel.

"Mrs. Su doesn't need to see ......"

Gu Ming held her arm in time.

"Yes, speaking of which, your Zeng family has always been very supportive of this official, and now that you are in trouble, this official will naturally find a way to solve it.

However, there is not a trace of clue yet, and it is not certain that the missing person was kidnapped by those bandits.

In this way, as soon as the morning dawned, the official sent people to investigate along the way to see if he could find some traces of spiders and worms. ”

"Yes!" Nie Xiaoqian also followed and persuaded: "It's useless for you to be anxious now, besides, things have to be on the good side, maybe Young Master Zeng is just greedy for fun and goes elsewhere, and he will come back tomorrow." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

As a result, Su Ling still cried vigorously.

After all, that is her husband, the backbone of the family, how can she not be in a hurry and worry before you get the exact news?

At this time, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask Nie Hongshu: "Father-in-law, if it is really those bandits who kidnapped, then how to solve it?" Is it possible to send officers and soldiers to attack directly? ”

"This ......"

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but groan.

"If you attack forcibly, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will jump over the wall and tear up the ticket in a hurry."

Hearing this, Su Ling cried even more breathlessly......

Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh and comforted softly: "Mrs. Su, don't worry, if it was really the bandits who kidnapped Young Master Zeng, then their purpose must be for the silver, and they won't hurt the hostages for no reason."

Otherwise, I'll go and check out in person whether Young Master Zeng has been kidnapped by bandits. ”

"No, no, it's too dangerous."

Nie Hongshu hurriedly waved his hand.

Su Ling also sobbed and said: "Gu Gongzi's kindness and concubine have received it physically and mentally, but it is really too risky for you to go in person, so you should think of other ways." ”

It is indeed an incredible thing for ordinary people to break into the cottage alone.

However, Gu Ming was confident: "It's okay, those bandits are just a group of rabble, what can they do to me?" ”

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Whether it is for the sake of Su Ling or the face of the Zeng family, this busy Gu Ming has to help.

Besides, with his current strength, he is indeed not afraid of those bandits, so there is no risk.

It's nothing more than a trip.

"But ......"

Su Ling was still not at ease, and wanted to say something, but Gu Ming waved his hand and couldn't help but say: "This matter is so decided, I am afraid that things will change, I will go to the bandits' den tonight to find out the truth." ”

"This ......"

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but glance at his daughter.

Nie Xiaoqian sighed, although she was reluctant in every way, she knew that she couldn't be dissuaded, so she could only tell with a worried face: "Then you must be careful, and let Daddy send a few more people with you." ”

"No, if you bring the yamen with you, things will be worse."

Gu Ming waved his hand and said with a straight face.
